Games that redefine games.

Will Wright, Hironobu Sakaguchi and more are working on new projects for Apple Arcade, the game subscription service for iOS devices by Apple. The technology giant revealed during an event at the Steve Jobs Theatre that, many acclaimed game creators are already working on premium titles in anticipation of the "netflix-like" service for iOS mobile gamers.

But wait a minute, not familiar with those names? We are here to educate.

Will Wright is best known as the creator for Sim City and The Sims. His other notable creation is Spore, a life simulation real-time strategy and sandbox game that allows you to develop a species from a microscopic organism to its evolution into a complex animal. Wright is undoubtedly an expert designer for simulation games. So, Spore 2 incoming?

On the other hand, Hironobu Sakaguchi is best known as the creator of the widely popular Final Fantasy franchise, which he conceived the original concept for the first title Final Fantasy and also directed several later entries in the franchise. He founded his own studio, Mistwalker in 2004 and is currently working on a game called Fantasian for the Apple Arcade.
